This is the first annual Midlands Academy of Medical Sciences Research Festival, which aims to showcase the best research in medical and life sciences from across the Universities of Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham and Warwick.

The School of Biosciences features a new, state-of-the-art X-ray diffraction facility for proteins. The facility includes a new-generation microfocus rotating anode generator and a CCD chip-based area detector for rapid data acquisition. Protein crystallisation, largely a trial-and-error process, is often hampered by the scarcity of pure protein. With the aid of a liquid handling robot, capable of dispensing nano-litre volumes, the number of potential growth conditions can be vastly extended, enhancing the chance of success and rendering possible the crystallisation of difficult proteins or protein complexes.

This course is suitable for doctors, nurses and other health care professionals aiming to acquire specialised skills and qualifications in hypertension management within primary and community care; for example covering dimensions required for the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework or accreditation for GP/PwSI
